Re: Belgocontrol ATC strike from 12 April 2016
Some here don't want to hear anything else than their opinion (and it's not only related to ATC) so I won't enter the debate here, just state some facts. What you don't realize, is that there is simply not enough ATCOs, that's a fact. That lack was compensated for years by ATCOs making efforts to ke...

Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks
Unbelievable. Un-be-lie-va-ble! Have they no shame??? In THESE extremely difficult times, after terrorist attacks, with a severely handicapped Brussels Airport struggling to get back on its feet, they go on a STRIKE!? They should all be fired. There are some issues we are not aware of, like as for ...

Re: A Virgin Atlantic A340 returns to Heathrow after copilot is hit by laser beam
It is quite likely that this is a political action, to highlight the potential danger and to force the police to act. I'd wait a final report before making a conclusion... OK let's wait Laser beams are quite a serious issue, even it might look doubtful to some. (Towers are also targeted by the way)...

Now they send a "rescue" flight from Saint Denis.
